Stevie Wonder's 1974 song evokes a classical tone that works quite well with a classically oriented choir. Wonder performed it at Michael Jackson's memorial service in 2009 and it has been covered by other artists, including Josh Groban and George Michael, allowing singers to make important connections of style and culture.

Rewarding Challenge for Choir Enthusiasts!
I absolutely love singing this Stevie Wonder classic with my community choir! Even though it's marked 'Advanced Choir,' the arrangement is so beautiful and evocative of the original's classical tone, it's incredibly rewarding to learn. It captures the spirit of the song wonderfully, reminding me of its performance at Michael Jackson's memorial. A truly enjoyable and fulfilling piece for dedicated adult learners looking for a meaningful challenge.

Solid Choral Octavo for Performance
A well-crafted SATB/Solo arrangement of Stevie Wonder's classic. As a professional accompanist for performing choirs, I found the Hal Leonard octavo to be clear and practical. The 16-page format is manageable. While a choral score, not a lead sheet, it’s a strong piece for a sophisticated performance setting, especially given the 'Voices Rising' series quality. Delivers exactly what a professional choral group needs for a moving performance.
